Summary: Distinguish between true and false native chickens: how to distinguish between native chickens and farmed chickens?
Native chicken, also known as grass chicken, stupid chicken or chai chicken, is a local chicken. The price of all agricultural products that are related to the local chicken will be more expensive than the related products of the general feed chicken, the most expensive chai egg on the market is about 20 yuan, and the price of fresh native chicken and the price of chicken are far higher than that of the general feed chicken. It is precisely because the breeding method of native chickens is relatively close to the conditions of natural environmental protection. Therefore, in order to seek more benefits, many traders in the market will use falsehoods to describe ordinary feed chickens as native chickens. So how to distinguish whether the chicken bought in the market is a native chicken or not?
There is a difference between the breeding methods of native chickens and feed chickens.
To distinguish between native chickens and general feed chickens, it is necessary to understand the differences between the feeding methods of the two chickens. Native chickens are generally free-range in the natural environment, of which free-range on the slope of the best quality, these native chickens for a long time natural foraging or combined with corn, wheat bran and other coarse grains for feed, do not eat any artificial feed with chemical components, and the growth environment is vast, generally to feed for more than half a year before selling. The general feed chicken mainly feeds on chicken feed, grows rapidly, is kept in captivity, has a small range of activity, and can generally be sold in a short period of time.
How to identify native chickens?
Discern from body type. The amount of activity of the native chicken is relatively large, so the overall body shape is relatively compact, the muscles are more developed, and the chicken head of the general turkey will be relatively small, the chicken feet will be thinner, and it will look "slim". Feed chickens are less active and appear fat, the chicken feet are thick, and the chicken head is larger. In addition, in the chicken leg part, the chicken thigh part of the chicken is relatively tight, and the leg muscles of the feed chicken appear to be looser.
Discern from the appearance. The feathers of the native chicken are shiny in color and look smooth, and the feathers of feed chickens or captive chickens are fluffy, messy, do not shine, and occasionally break or dirty. In addition, the color of the crown of the native chicken is bright and relatively large, and the smaller color of the crown of the feed chicken is not as bright as that of the native chicken.
Distinguish from the quality of meat and eating. After dissection, the chicken skin will be found to be thinner, the pores are small, mesh-like, and the chicken fat tissue is very small; the chicken skin of the feed chicken is thick and the pores are large, the overall is relatively loose, and the chicken fat tissue is more. When stewing soup, you will find that the local chicken soup is more transparent, the chicken is tight and elastic, and it is more chewy to eat; the chicken soup of the feed chicken is more turbid, the chicken is loose, it is more chai, and the taste is not good.
Although the cost of feeding chickens is much lower, the cycle of native chickens from chicken seedlings to mature sales will be relatively long and faster than that of feed chickens, so many traders will sell feed chickens as native chickens. In addition to feed chickens, there are also some imitation native chickens that are difficult to distinguish from native chickens, but they can also be distinguished from chicken heads, chicken crowns, etc., but they need to be more careful to distinguish.
The above are some common ways to identify real and fake turkeys on the market, if you have a better way to identify, you can leave a message to communicate, together to help you buy real chicken.
